THE BREvITY OF Owe.

Love Is the silent star of gray clad hours,
That mclts IN MINDLESS flame of vermeil day;
j. Is the rose above the hidden thorn,
V hose crimson leaves the wild winds sweep
away. 4
II Is a golden land That tawns and fades,
Above tn" binding incense Of our years.
Nor sinks to earth but that the heart must feel,
Twas hut a mirage pictured in our tears.
iE t!sptiIg as TIA" borraIts rays
That sweep the northern heavens with tn, ir
FIRE,
Tina: nash their light in million eyes nfar.
And in t'at hri"r t"mpcstuous flame expire.
II IS the r.!lE'n breeze Of youth and hope,
Tint, as d signs across the tar strrwn floor,
Scarce E-r.s to sir the petals OF the rose,
or urs' IN" sails that stretch toward the shore;
Eb' uu is" WiEGg become an angry gale,
And care and sorrow speak above the storm,
Ma.l' ius.d 81 ans from far of alien skies,
30 a iles OF fate the mornings sky defcrm;
A'l hope, That kept the glory OF the view,
JuhNcdinE heard, nor saw with blinded eye,
L. pierced with pancs that rise the clouds among,
Clasps lJsc-and in each others arms they die.

When the hot weather disappears it
takes with it the druggists revenue from
drinks. Winter drinks don't pay. The
druggists last winter tried several hot
drinks, such as hot soda and beef tea, but
the most of them will sell nothing but
vichy this year. The experiment was a
failure. Women don't drink hot drinks
in drug stores, II when n man wants n
drink in winter, whether it's a glass of
whisky or beef tea, he goes to n saloon.
The druggists will be satisfied, after the
cold weather begins, If their fountains
pay the cost of keeping them in order

CABLING BY CIPHER
How Cipher Codes Are Mado and why
They Are Used by Brokers.

How Cipher Codes Are Mado and WHY
They Are Used by Brokers.
The people who use the cables most are,
first, merchants engaged in the import
and export trade, who employ it for the
exchange of prices and offers, a single
transaction often requiring many mes
sages. Second, the stock brokers and
dealers here and in Europe, especially the
urbttrage brokers, whose business CON
gists in taking advantage of the difference
between the price of the same stock at a
given time on the New York and London
exchanges. For instance, If a stock drops
suddenly in New York, by quick work u
purchase can be made here and the stock
resoid in London before the change has
lowered the price there. Each of the
cor. csponding brokers realizes n profit
wholly due to the close cable connection
which enabled them to take advantage of
a situation which could exist but "A few
minutes. A third great class of the
cabling public includes the news agencies,
the companies sending press reports, COM
mercial reports and market quotations
night and day the year round. The class
OF least Importance TO the companies is
that using the cable only occasionally for
private and non-commercial messages.
Cabling by cipher, which is the method
most commercial houses employ for the
salid of economy as well as of privacy,
has become n science. The preparation of
many of the cipher codes is most ingen-
ious, and cipher messages demand the ut
most skill and care on the part of the
operators. a cipher word may stand for
rs many as six figures, and each one of
these figures may stand for a sentence or
a price, and its correctness be of the
highest importance. The day of the
week, h place of a word in a sentence,
may each have a special significance, and
the wrong use of a single figure may
tran5pose the entire significance of every
subsequent character in the message.
Gable codes may be made up from words
of any language TO be found in standard
dictionaries of that language, but the
companies rules provide that they shall
not exceed ten letters in length and shall
not be proper m Some cable codes
usc as many as 100, 900 words, in diff
ferent languages, meaning nothing FIX
cept through the combination figures
they stand for. Vastly simpler figures
are used for domestic telegraphing,
wherein each word stands for a whole
sentence. Cheap cable rates tend greatly
to do away with the use of cipher mes
sages.
In the making of cable codes exceed
ingly elaborate tables are required, con
tanning combinations of figures and SEN
fences of the most complicated sort.
There are many different systems, but all
require great study to make and a great
deal of expert skill to use. The danger
of mistake is considerable, and anything
that would tend to simplify codes is do.
sirahlc. The most potent influences
would bn low rates. For while most
cipher codes We're originally used for the
sake of privacy, this is now deemed less
important than the economy of brief
messages. This is really the chief object
of cipher cabling.-New York CONNER

There is on view at the American ex-
hibition in London n novel t%oboggan slide.
Wheels are abolished, and steel runners
used in their place. The steering APP
paratus is most d~elicately arranged, so
that an upset is next to impossible. The
machine is light, Weighing about twenty
pounds. The slide, which can be erected
at the cost of about e100, is faced with
toughened glass instead of wood, and held
down with steel rods. As the toboggan
runs down. the slide the noise it makes
is infnitesimal.-Boston Transcript.

OF the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the fact that every purchaser receives a
fair equivalent for his money. The famil-
lar headline 100 Doses One Dollar"
stolen by ~imitators, is original with and
true only of Hoods Sarsaparilla. This
can easily be proven by any one who dc
sires to test the matter. For real economy,

THE COTTAGE T

This cottage system is quiet and UMPIRE
tentiOus. it does not tax up much space
in the fashionable seaside news column of
the daily paper. Peter Smith, the hun
dred millionaire, and his family have ten
times more space, ink and type given him
than have 100 of the cheap cottage resi-
dents. But the mass so living in the sum-
mer by the sea is increasing, and it in

of meat, fish and game, for which earth,
air and water have been ransacked; where
one half the food, despite the style in
which it is served, has lost its freshness
from overmuch refrigeration or absorption
of the conglomerate odors and havors
amid which it is cooked in the great hotel
kitchen-meals served with all the form
atty of a high mass, and where you are
tyrannized by an attendant demon of a
French or colored waiter, who ''sizes up''
your style in thirty seconds, and is atten-

A Berlin Weather Prophet.

The astronomer Falb, who last year at
tanned some celebrity by his more or less
accurate predictions of earthquake shocks,
has this year come to grief by his weather
predictions for the months of June and
July. In commenting on his future, a
German paper recalls the fate which once
overlook another scientific weather
prophet, Professor Dietmar of Berlin, who
had predicted that the winter of 1892
would be so mild hat butchers, confec-
TONERS, etc, would be unable to procure
a sufficient supply of ice. 1t so happened
that after New Year of that winter I'M
usually cold weather set in, and, rs il by
common agreement, so many boxes filed
with ice were sent by post to Professor
Dietmar, the freight charges being IN
paid, that the Postmaster General Won
Nagler advised all postoffices by circular
to refuse the acceptance of boxes with ice
for Professor Dietmar of Berlin.-New
